Within the scope of sediments and landscapes, S&T’s research focuses on understanding the biostratigraphic and paleoceanographic implications of palynomorphs, micropaleontology and radioisotopic dating of geological structures exploring the timing of meteorite impacts; a pioneering paleolimnological study of Lake Izabal, the largest lake in Guatemala; and geohazard mapping while exploring the applicability of Lidar and Unmanned Aerial Surveys as high-resolution predictive tools in detecting emerging geomorphologic features. This multidisciplinary research at S&T will improve oil and gas exploration, paleoenvironmental and paleoclimatic reconstructions, provide information for global disaster mitigation, and identify potential hazards related to landslides and earthquakes.
